Creamy Blueberry Chicken Salad

Again a great one to take on a picnic or to an outdoor concert:
(serves 6)

1/2 cup thinly vertically sliced red onion
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup torn fresh lemon* basil (grow it!!)
1/4 cup sliced hearts of palm*
12 oz. shredded skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken (about 3 cups)
1/2 t. Kosher salt, divided
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (you can also use 2% reduced-fat)
2&1/2 t. fresh lemon juice, divided
1 T. honey
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 (15 oz.) package baby arugula
2 t. EVOO
1/4 t. freshly ground black pepper
Slivered almonds*

Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; sprinkle with 1/4 t. salt. Combine yogurt, 1 T. lemon juice, and honey in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add yogurt mixture; toss to coat. Gently stir in blueberries. Place arugula, remaining 1&1/2 T. lemon juice, oil, remaining 1/4 t. salt in a bowl; toss to coat. Divide arugula mixture evenly among 6 plates; top each with about 3/4 cup chicken mixture. Garnish with slivered almonds.
